Chapter 803: Escorting the Evil Orb

Translated by XephiZ

Edited by Aelryinth

Mo Fan felt his head aching. In the end, he only knew where the Red Demon come from, but he had no idea where it was, or what it was up to.

If that was the case, how could he possibly help Lingling avenge her dad?

“Mo Fan, I have a favor to ask,” said Mochizuki Ken.

“Old man, I’m a busy man,” Mo Fan rejected straight away.

“The Essence Orb is absolutely evil. To be honest, I don’t think I’m confident enough even if my people are keeping it. I know that your team is heading for Tokyo soon. I hope that you can bring the Essence Orb to an old friend of mine in Tokyo. He’s the only person that can purify the hatred inside the orb,” said Mochizuki Ken.

“Hey hey, I didn’t accept yet, don’t you act like I’ve agreed to do you the favor!” protested Mo Fan.

Commander Takagi had the highest authority in the West Guardian Tower. It would only be a matter of time until he located the Essence Orb. Once he found it, the whole situation would only worsen. Mochizuki Ken was hoping to bring the orb away, as far as possible!

“The Essence Orb does contain incredible energy, and the side effect when it is absorbed by a Summoned Beast is significantly lower. If you’re willing to help us with the favor, you can take a part of the energy in the orb. If I’m not mistaken, you are a Summoner too. I believe you’ll need the energy more than anyone else… ah, if the higher-ups knew I’d given such a useful resource to a representative of the Chinese team, they would surely blame me for it. However, I have no other choice. The Essence Orb is still fresh, its evil thoughts are still not that strong. It’s better to purify it as soon as possible,” said Mochizuki Ken.

Mo Fan hesitated after hearing the offer from the old man.

The advancement of the Swift Star Wolf was indeed a problem he was facing. It had been a while since his Summoned Beast was stuck at his current level. At this rate, his Summoned Beast would not be able to handle the upcoming fights.

The Swift Star Wolf had been utterly loyal to him. Mo Fan had no intention to switch him out. Therefore, the only choice was to improve his strength.

However, Mo Fan was hesitant when he recalled how evil the orb was.

“Why don’t you ask someone else?” Somehow, Mo Fan thought the old man had too much trust in him.

“Do you think it’s wise to let more people know about its existence?” asked Mochizuki Ken in return.

It was as Mochizuki Ken had said. Based on what they were told, even lovers would turn against one another under the influence of the orb. It was indeed something that must be handled with extreme caution.

“Master, isn’t it a bit too risky asking him to escort the orb…” said Mochizuki Chihaya.

“Mo Fan is just like Kazuaki, who still managed to keep a clear mind despite the influence of the Essence Orb. I won’t tell anyone that you have the Essence Orb, and it’s better if you don’t mention it to your teammates, either. The Essence Orb is just an ordinary orb as long as it’s wrapped inside the silver cloth. Once you arrive in Tokyo, hand it to my old friend, and you’ll be given a high-quality soul to upgrade your Summoned Beast,” said Mochizuki Ken.

“It sounds like a plan, but I’m more interested in learning more about the previous Red Demon. My Hunter partner has been looking for a dark red soul mark like this, and it turns out that it’s something that escaped from your East Guardian Tower, so I hope that you’ll tell me everything you know,” said Mo Fan sternly.

“That’s more the reason you should bring the orb to my old friend,” said Mochizuki Ken.

“And why is that?”

“He used to be the warden for the East Guardian Tower before Commander Takagi took over. I believe he’s the only person that knows where the Red Demon is. He’s the only one that’s still trying to hunt the Red Demon down,” said Mochizuki Ken.

“If that’s the case… fine, I’ll bring the orb to him,” Mo Fan nodded.

“Chihaya will go with you,” said Mochizuki Ken.

“Me?” Mochizuki Chihaya was startled.

wasn’t it weird for a Japanese inspector to follow the Chinese national team to Tokyo? What reason and identity would she use to convince them to let her tag along?

“Leave Iwata to me, focus on delivering the orb. I believe Iwata will soon recover; Takagi has no reason to lock him up further,” said Mochizuki Ken.

A lot of things had happened that night, yet to those who were deeply asleep, it was a perfectly calm night.

Back in his room, Mo Fan was holding the orb wrapped inside a silver cloth in his hand. He could feel the evil energy flowing out from it. It made him shiver when the energy penetrated his skin.

“Mo Fan, Mo Fan, wake up!” Zhao Manyan yelled outside the door.

Mo Fan opened the door. He was still energetic. A Magician’s mental toughness was stronger than ordinary people after all. It would not matter if he did not have any sleep for a few days.

“What is it?” asked Mo Fan with a confused look.

“That brainless woman with huge breasts who dueled with you, Mochizuki Chihaya, is coming to Tokyo with us!” exclaimed Zhao Manyan in a slightly excited tone.

“Oh,” answered Mo Fan.

“Oh? That’s not the reaction I expect from you! Yes I know that woman is harsh with her words, but her body is absolutely marvelous. The journey to Tokyo is a long one, you should make use of the chance to push her down!” Zhao Manyan immediately displayed his pervertedness.

{TL Note: ‘push down’ here is a Chinese modern slang, like pushing someone down on a bed.}

“I’m not that kind of a person.”

“Of course, considering the kind of person you are, you’re not just going to push her down, there’s going to be whipping, candles, handcuffs, racks… tsk tsk tsk,” Zhao Manyan kept going, his mind already full of imaginations.

“You’re a retard.”

“Hey, hey, why so serious? Don’t you know a man’s hormones are the strongest in the morning? Can’t I enjoy some lewd thoughts? I’ve not touched a woman since the training started. At this rate, I’m definitely going nuts!” grumbled Zhao Manyan.

“Anything else? If not, I’m heading back to sleep. I’m tired,” said Mo Fan impatiently.

“Tired? Didn’t you sleep last night?”

“I was caught in some trouble,” Mo Fan was still unclear about the Essence Orb. He had no intention to drag Zhao Manyan into the mess.

The thing was extremely dangerous. Even a Senior Hunter like Lingling’s father had died because of it. Mo Fan believed it was unwise to tell anyone about it unless he was sure that it would not pose any threat to them.

“Actually, I’ve come here to discuss something with you. I’ve been having this weird dream lately… hey, I’m discussing a serious matter with you, why are you shoving me outside,” said Zhao Manyan.

“We’ll talk later, let me take a nap first.”

“Asshole, he must have done something lewd last night…”
